Hi, I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active and while updating, it went into a bootloop. I cant boot into recovery, odin fails to flash the stock rom, and all I get when booting is:
SAMSUNG
Galaxy S7 Active
Powered By
android
screen. It doesn't even go to that, all it does is boots into recovery. I don't want to send it out for repairs (Mostly because I am broke).
If also, may I get answers from people that own one and been in this problem before and/or people that know how to repair this issue.
Also, I can only use the Stock Recovery.
Thanks, Nysean01'
Edit: I have also been to this. It was no help what so ever and got me deeper to this point in the post.
Edit 2: I have a backup phone and that one is currently working. I still wanna keep using my newer one.
which rom/version was you on?
which you trying to get to?
which ones have you tried in odin?
are you loading all the files ?
does it say it completes successfully ?

7.0
Not trying to change
Yes, I'm loading all the files
Nope. It says in red, FAIL.
then i would guess that the file is currupt, or maybe the cable is dodge...
but which version was you on before (QB2) and which you tried so far ? (QD4 ?)

I was running the latest version of everything. 7.0 for phone, 10 for computer, and a mod odin.
Try a different Odin package, an older stock ROM and a different cable.
Which ones would you recommend?
Odin 3.12.4 and PI2, that is the earliest on BL2, try that, and if it works you should be able to OTA back up.
Mark as closed. I took it to the store, and even they said that they cant do nothing about it. So, Since I had the warranty (didn't know, was a hand me down), Samsung is sending me a new phone.
I have the same problem, got stuck on Nand writel. Already try different odin versions, I was on the last stock room, the problem was that I heva virus and had to do a hard reset, but when I finish got stuck on google verification, after try a lot of times I decided to fls stock room, but I fail.
What I can do it?

Hi I was rooted using cmenards int rom and I decided top use odin to go back to stock so I could do the update so I can get the new modem. It is how I have always done things when an update comes out even though I know I am going to root and use a custom I like to have a currrent stock backup and the latest modem. I am not new to this.so I dont know what is up.
I am using pc odin 3.07 i put the file in PDA and I tried to install the twrp with odin and it says that it worked but when I boot into recovery it is still stock. So I tried the CWM for the 7100 with the same results. (both of them I have used before with no problem) So I tried to redownload everything still the same resutls then I tried resetting everything and no luck. I gotta say I am stumped. The only thing I can think of is I was going to use kies to do the update but it was on my pc before but It hads to do an update so maybe the updated version of kies is doing something annd as it turned out I didnt need to use kies I just used the ota. So I am uninstalling it now as I type but I dont think it will do anything.
Can anyone help me please?

It's a known issue on newer android devices, it will automatically reflash the stock recovery. Try using goomanager or exynos abuse, I'm positive one will ask you if you want to disable it (I remeber it popping up)
Oooh I read about that so thats what it is. Goo manager does not work I tried but what is ths other thing. I guess I have to get it here? I will google it I see it is not in market thank you. So if that does not work how do I get around this?
Okay I figured it out. And I actually didnt even haver to hook up to my pc. I was ****ting (which is where I come up with all my good ideas.) And I remember reading about the security hole in the exynos processor and the app chainfire came up with. Which turns out to be the exynos abuse app that killahurtz was talking about. So I remembered that with the app you can use the exploit to root so I downloaded the .apk and installed and rooted and then used goo.im app to install the latest twrp. So thanks to killahurtz for recomending it and chainfire for the app and exploit and samsung for being a little bit dopey One thing I am still wondering is how would you solve this problem if the security hole did not exist? I know I saw something in the toolkit about it So if this didnt work would In have been able to hookup tob the pc and use the toolkit without having root access?
In ExynosAbuse, it gives you the option to plug the hole after you have rooted, only thing is you may break your camera in the process. I would just stay away from pirated and sketchy apps for now.
Hello, my first time ever posting on this site. First time/long time.
I have Gn2 Rooted. No roms. Stocked with triangle away. I wasn't able to do the lastest OTA update due to being rooted.
Kies will not let me upgrade to it on its own. Tells me it cannot change my firmware. couldnt figure it out.
I have downloaded the ROM from Sammobile.com and tried to flash it with mobileodin. Mobile odin gave me the blue android guy. I read some more and tried 2 different workaround with flashing the cachefix.zip for the blue android. Couldnt flash it, would fail everytime. I even flashed through desktop Odin. Which wouldn't pass and fail every time.
I stayed up too late last night trying to read wayyy too many threads and figure this out , no luck. I rather not update it at this point.
Is it really necessary to do the update?
Can anyone help with my issue!?
thank you!

+1. stock, update, then re-root
Remove Kies from pc. (It's a Pain in the arse)..just install Samsung drivers. .use another usb port on your pc and use Odin on pc to flash the downloaded rom. ..it should work
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
I wasn't paying attention to the model numbers I was looking at and tried to install an N7100 ROM on my SGH-T889. I installed it, fudged my IMEI and tried to rollback to the previous ROM I had in place but it didn't resolve my IMEI unknown issue. I tried to restore my backups, nothing. I have tried multiple stock firmware versions for my phone I have found on here but ODIN fails on every single one, most of them sitting at boot.img, MD5 hash invalid or getting stuck on system. I am unable to get into recovery, only the download screen. I think because the ROM I tried was 4.3 it messed up my bootloader and wont let me go back to 4.1.2 but I cant put anything on it at this point. Ive tried multiple versions of ODIN, different USB ports, cables, rebooted my PC and Im out of ideas at this point. I apologize in advance because I'm sure the answer is out there I just cant find it and I've been looking for a few days.

Its possible that when you tried to flash 4,3 rom you also ended up with the stupid KNOX security thing. Which means you cant go back to older roms only 4.3. (as far as i know, im still a bit of a noob with this stuff)
It might be usefull to post what you get on the screen when in download mode, hat will give people more info to help you with i guess.
I did a similar thing too you a while ago and lose my imei and such, i cant exactly remember how i fixed it, i think i just flashed a stock from from sammobile.
If you havent tried that, then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032849
Did you try flashing stock 4.3 ROM for SGH-T889 from sammobile ?
Try flashing the MK7 modem ? You can find it under development forums.

Thanks for your reply. I forgot to mention in my post what I have on the download screen currently:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (1 COUNT)
CURRENT BINARY : SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
AP SWREV: A2
I have tried a 4.3 stock ROM, to no avail. I will try it again now though.

I did indeed, although The modem I tried now that I am looking back through my downloads I believe was for the N7000 model. I will look through it and try to find it. Thanks for your reply.
I seem to have gotten myself out of the hole Ive dug. Hopefully if anyone else gets this deep, this will help. Given the fact that I erroneously flashed a 4.3 ROM I screwed myself over for going back but I was able to flash the latest firmware from sammobile (4.3) The file should be named T889UVUCMK7_T889TMBCMK7_TMB. I unzipped it, reinstalled ODIN 3.09 and tried a few times with negative results. However, Ive seen several conflicting posts about Kies, some say delete it completely, some say use it so I reinstalled it BUT I ended the process in task manager before I connected my phone and opened ODIN. I flashed only the firmware in the PDA section, no .pit files, no .phone files. It completed after about 10 minutes and I now have a stock 4.3 note 2, wifi capable and data service enabled. My download screen still shows custom binary download8 counts) which I know I can revert using triangle away but current binary and system status both show samsung official. The Knox warranty void still shows:1. Tmobile has sent me a replacement due to my negligence and ignorance in reaching out to them and I have 2 phones, the one I just fixed and the warrantied replacement on 4.1.2 sitting next to it. Should I just return the replacement back to them and tell them I fixed my issue or should I send them the old phone and keep the refurb? Im not familiar with the procedures phone companies follow when it comes to inspecting phones that are sent back to them but it seems to me that it is an expensive gamble because if they get my old one and see the Knox tripped, I imagine they would claim its out of warranty and charge me some astronomical amount.
Hi friends. Long time lurker here.
I've had many Samsung phones and many other android devices, but this is my first brick.
I had flashed the rooted SM-T217s rom, and the wifi wasn't working, so I tried to reflash it, at which point everything went wonky. I searched the forums and found some threads on bricked 217s's, but nothing specific to my situation.
The tablet went to the emergency firmware update screen, and I haven't been able to get Kies to even recognize it. I try to Odin back to the latest stock (B8) but it fails at 'Get PIT for mapping.' My google-fu tells me this is not a good thing.
Am I hosed here? What else can I try?
Thanks XDA, you're my only hope.

Good news, I guess. I was able to flash TWRP recovery and the stock rooted rom from another computer, but now Wifi is borked and there's no network connection. HALP.

Okay well I fixed it.
Turns out, the problem was that I was using Odin on a VM on my Mac. I had tried to use a PC, but I think the USB controller was too old, so that failed too. I had to use Heimdall to flash each of the partitions from the B8 zip manually. It worked, and I'm back in business, though not rooted. I suppose I'll wait until there's a better way to root before I try it again.

You should have made a backup. I used twrp recovery flashed a rom same thing wifi wouldnt work so I restored back. If you get it working again make a backup imo. Goodluck.

same here, I have the rom, but hesitated on the firmware, waiting to see if someone gets the wifi working, not to many developers here for this tablet.

Ok guys. Heres my deal with this TAB. Ive rooted... Unrooted. wipe wipe wipe wippty wipe . WiFi not working. Fixed it with NB8. So here now I sit with:
----NB8 Wifi works---
----TWRP-----
Yup, pathetic i know. I cant even get the supersu to flash. TWRP wont move it over to flash off external sd card. Im not hip to abd plus i heard you leave yourself wide opento visitors when using that.
Ive eye hustled a thread on here that some friends are getting back together to rock it on a custom rom so my fingers are crossed. This tab is so neglected i mayjust go get the 210r. But i really dont want to. So my question is....
Can someone please give me links to files that work with the NB8 stock firmware. Some of the links are outdated after sprint uploaded the new bootloader. We are a small community on this tab so lets stick together on this. I dont think cynogen isgoing to do anything for it. As they concentrate on thier new phone which looks pretty sweet by the way. K im done. Going to wait for help and play with this htc one s
thats been collecting dust.

Hello all *waves*
This is my very first post although I have used this site countless times. I'm just going to jump right to it because I seriously need some help!
I am trying to fix my SGH-M919 (Tmobile S4) that just suddenly stopped working one day. I have tried EVERYTHING! Kies, custom roms, Odin but my phone still will not load past the Samsung logo. It will boot into recovery (TWRP) and Download mode. I know that using Kies is the quick fix but (LUCKY ME...not) my phone is one of the few phones tmobile/Samsung sent out with no S/N on the sticker under the battery. Since I cant get into my phone I cant get the S/N and I do not have the box anymore.
I have tried using the many sgh-m919 Stock Rom files online, including this site, but nothing is working. When I spend hours downloading them and begin to use them in odin, Odin doesn't load the file for me to flash.
I know I am using Odin correctly because I have done it successfully countless times in the past. I have also tried EVERY download file out there, but I can't find a good one that I can flash in Odin. I have also tried all of the guides on this site several times so please don't redirect me to them, because I have seriously and correctly tried them all. If you have any suggestion please let me know. I can't afford the 161.00 Samsung is requiring or the 175 warranty fee tmobile is charging. PLEASE HELP.
And if some has a good copy of the Stock Rom for SGH-M919 that they would be willing to email me I would FOREVER be greatful!
also my sdcard and battery are not the issue.... tried that too
Thanks,
Nikki
Were there any symptoms or anything you may have done out of the ordinary that might or might not have caused the problem? By saying that odin will not load files, is there an error message or what exactly do you mean by that? And what version odin are you using?

I don't know if its something I have done wrong or not. I followed all of the instructions to the letter. I think (but am not sure) that I don't have a usable copy of the Stock Firmware.
I am using v3.10 but I have tried them all.
When I click on AP in Odin, then click on the file I am sent back to Odin, but the file (and filename) doesn't appear in the AP box like normal.
The stock firmware files take a while for odin to validate md5 check I think. Select your firmware file in Odin's selector, then wait a few mins for bit to process before giving up. This time lag surprised me first time I flashed stock firmware. Big file means longer wait!

The longest I have waited has been an hour, do you think that I should still wait longer?
Try different version of odin. Even if the file was bad, it would say something
Try a different pc.
